Precisely Liam! Concerning the offensive posts on the BBS in respect of two ladies in particular I am given to understand that the filthy comments were duly deleted by George Miller as soon as he became aware of them.I did not see the posts in question - nor would I want to - and consequently did not comment on the BBS about them.Ms Becky, I ask with all the deference I can afford to you, how can you presuppose that Liam Stephens read the offensive posts on the BBS? Even if he did it would not make any difference to his assertion in this chain of posts. Liam is right to admonish Alex in regard to any offensive remark made about Jan Mortimer. No amount of protestation can alter that.

Well, Alex, if your post was as inoffensive as you claim, why not repost it , exactly as previously stated, and let the readers and Alan Millhone as moderator be the judge. Your immediate deletion of the offending materialspeaks louder than words.

Ms Becky,I am perplexed. In a post directed to Liam Stephens you remonstrate with him about his failure to respond to comments made on the BBS, and yet when I make a comment here concerning an objectionable statement you say that I do not need to echo the posts of others! If I had not done so I have no doubt that you would have found that wrong too!!

Jan, all I can say - there were nothing about you personally. It was message about broken English, improper usage and prononciation some words, and examples from real stories with immigrants, including myself.

Liam considered examples as offensive due to dirty lanuguage. After then he mentioned that ladies can read my post in this forum (this is how your name comeup on board), and I removed my post. After then Lindus came to arena ... So ==> typical BBS "storm in glass of water"

OK I am a bit tired of all these "BBS like beaties" . I will delete this post and all my other posts in this topic in the next couple days. Don't see the reason to leave them here for a while.

Obviously me and Liam are on different part of planet and have different sense of humor and understanding - what is iffensive.

thanks for the explanation alex,im actually doing a lot of gardening today as in nz its really hot, 32 deg c yesterday,so im doing lots of chores outside,and just coming in now an again and reading acf forum.While acf forum is doing a good job,there is still a place for bbs as its more universal and more uk people contribute,
